Not Getting But Keeping Your Ducks In A Row


So.  Market is once again looming.  I'm feverishly working out designs and getting the new pieces finished up
for the Shepherd's Bush.  My back is aching.  My feet are screaming.  The dogs have long ago given up pestering me to take them home and have found good spots to nestle in for a long snooze.

I'm having a much needed sit down, so I thought I'd squeeze in a blog post.

Courtney, Lois, Kari, Amber and I have been pumping out the framing as fast as our little fingers can create.
Still, I seem to find an unending "pile of shame".  Miss Kari is once again stretching for me.  I have no idea how she manages with two small children, but I'm ever so grateful that she can find the time to fit me in!
While she was on maternity leave, I was pulling double duty managing the shop by day and stretching by night.  I've always been a bit of a workaholic, but I think it's starting to take it's toll.   I'm going to continue to work late until I drop - and get as much accomplished in the next few weeks as I can as school will be starting soon and that always jumbles up our schedules.

I told you a couple of weeks ago about Amber's artwork.  I think her work is delightful.
Here's a link to Amber's blog where you can see her work and get to know her too.

I just sent off a couple of large boxes to Cari.  Such delights lie therein!
Here's a peek at what's awaiting her...
I'm off to finish an e-mail or two before I pack it in for the night.
Puppy kisses to all of you.
Jill
